🌍 World Hepatitis Day 🌍: Hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver, is caused by infectious viruses and noninfectious agents, leading to severe health issues, some fatal. Types B and C are the most dangerous, causing chronic diseases, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer. According to WHO, 354 million people live with hepatitis B or C, and 4.5 million premature deaths could be prevented by 2030 through vaccination, diagnostics, and education. WHO aims to reduce new infections by 90% and deaths by 65% by 2030. Join us in spreading awareness and supporting the fight against hepatitis. 💪❤️

The survival rate after a liver transplant varies depending on several factors, such as the individual's overall health, the reason for the transplant, and how well the body accepts the new liver.

Generally, the survival rates are quite promising. Many liver transplant recipients can live for many years after the procedure, and some have even been able to live decades with a healthy transplanted liver.

However, it's essential to follow the recommended post-transplant care and take immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection and ensure long-term success.

Liver transplant depends on various factors, including:

Severity of Liver Disease: The primary reason for a liver transplant is often severe liver disease or end-stage liver failure.

Medical Eligibility: The candidate's overall health and medical condition will be evaluated to determine if they are physically fit for the surgery and post-transplant care.

Liver Transplant Evaluation: Comprehensive medical and psychological evaluations are conducted to assess the patient's suitability for transplantation.

MELD Score: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is used to prioritize patients on the transplant waiting list based on the severity of their liver disease.

Availability of Donor Liver: The availability of a suitable donor liver is a critical factor. It can come from a deceased donor or a living donor.

Blood Type Compatibility: The donor's and recipient's blood types need to be compatible to minimize the risk of rejection.

Cross-Match Compatibility: A cross-match test is performed to check if the recipient's immune system will react to the donor liver.

Age: Age is a factor in determining transplant candidacy, but it's not the sole criterion.

Support System: Having a strong support system and adherence to post-transplant care instructions are essential for successful outcomes.

Alcohol and Drug Use: Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to abstaining from alcohol and drug use post-transplant

The final decision for liver transplantation is made by a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals after considering all these factors to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.

There are some best hospitals in Mumbai like H N Reliance Hospital Mumbai where advanced liver failure treatment, liver cancer treatment, liver cirrhosis treatment and liver transplant treatment is done with great success. You can book an appointment at the hospital also to know more about the cost of liver failure treatment, cost of liver transplant in Mumbai, cost of other liver disease treatment.

The decision to proceed with liver transplantation in Hepatitis B cases is a complex one, requiring careful patient evaluation. The indications for a liver transplant in such cases are as follows:

a. Decompensated Cirrhosis: When chronic Hepatitis B advances to advanced liver cirrhosis with decompensation (e.g., ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and variceal bleeding), liver transplantation becomes necessary.

b. Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): Hepatitis B significantly increases the risk of HCC or liver cancer development. Liver transplantation can be considered as a curative option for early-stage HCC patients who meet specific criteria.

c. Fulminant Hepatitis B: In rare instances, Hepatitis B can cause acute liver failure (fulminant hepatitis B), requiring urgent liver transplantation.

d. Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF): Hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure can lead to life-threatening complications, making liver transplantation the only viable treatment option for selected patients.

Pre-Transplant Evaluation

Before undergoing liver transplantation, patients with chronic Hepatitis B undergo a comprehensive evaluation, which includes:

a. Liver Function Assessment: The severity of liver disease is evaluated through blood tests, such as liver function tests and coagulation profiles.

b. HCC Staging: If HCC is present, staging and evaluation of tumor characteristics are essential in determining the appropriate treatment strategy.

c. Viral Load Measurement: Quantifying HBV DNA levels helps assess viral activity and the need for antiviral therapy.

d. Serological Evaluation: Specific HBV markers, such as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg), are tested to provide valuable information about the infection's stage and activity.

e. Co-morbidity Assessment: Evaluating other medical conditions helps identify potential risks and optimize patient management.

There are several good hospitals and doctors in Bangalore where a liver transplant procedure is performed with a good success rate. The cost of liver transplant in Bangalore varies depending on the doctor and hospital chosen for treatment, the health of the patient, and the type of liver transplant procedure the patient is undergoing.

World Hepatitis Day: Signs and Dangers of the Liver Illness

According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that 40 million people are diagnosed with hepatitis B and 6 to 12 million are infected with hepatitis C. In 2019, Hepatitis B led to 820,000 deaths.

So what is Hepatitis, and why should we worry about it?

The WHO defines hepatitis as “an inflammation of the liver that is caused by a variety of infectious viruses and noninfectious agents leading to a range of health problems, some of which can be fatal. “ There are various types of hepatitis ranging from letters A to E.

A, B, and C are some of the most common types of hepatitis. Hepatitis A is usually short-term, While B and C can cause long-term or chronic infections. A person might have hepatitis B and C at the same time. The major difference between B and C is that Hepatitis B spreads from contact with bodily fluids, and C spreads from blood-to-blood contact.

Hepatitis D is also known as ‘delta-hepatitis’. But it only occurs if a person already has been affected by the Hepatitis B virus. It is transmitted through broken skin or contact with infected blood. Hepatitis E results in self-limited and acute illness.

To raise awareness about hepatitis, the World Health Organization has marked 28th July as World Hepatitis Day. The day coincides with the birth anniversary of Baruch Samuel Blumberg, who discovered the hepatitis B virus. He was awarded a Nobel Prize for his discovery in 1976.

Hepatitis can be spread through various means like food or drinking water with the virus, sexual contact, sharing of dirty needles, contact with the infected blood, needle stick injuries, transference from a pregnant person to a fetus, and contact with an infected person’s body fluids.

Some symptoms of the disease are dark urine, stomach pain, yellow skin or eye whites (jaundice), pale or clay-coloured stool, fever, loss of appetite, fatigue, aching joints and feeling sick to the stomach.

It is usually advised to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any symptoms. Hepatitis B and D can be prevented by a vaccine. There is no cure for Hepatitis A, but you can stop the infection with a dose of the hepatitis A vaccine or hepatitis A immune globulin.

People with a high risk of contracting hepatitis are

people who share needles to take drugs,

practice unprotected oral and/or anal sex,

have many sex partners,

drink significant amounts of alcohol,

have poor nutrition,

work in a hospital or nursing home,

receive long-term kidney dialysis, or

travel to areas with poor sanitation.

Getting diagnosed with Hepatitis might seem scary, but there are ways to keep yourself safe. Vaccination is one of the ways to keep yourself safe, Other ways include practising protected sex, not sharing needles, not using an infected person’s personal items, taking precautions while getting tattoos or body piercings, following hygienic habits while traveling and drinking bottled water while traveling.

Filaantro recognizes the danger of Hepatitis. That is why we actively raise funds for people afflicted with the disease. If you are suffering from hepatitis or know someone suffering from hepatitis, you can start fundraising on our very own website.
